Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features a minimalist, monochromatic design displayed in an open book. The composition consists of a series of black dots, lines, and shapes arranged in a grid-like pattern across the pages. The stark contrast between the white background and the bold, geometric elements creates a striking visual effect. The artwork appears to explore themes of communication, language, and the power of simplicity in artistic expression. The clean, systematic approach and the use of universal symbols suggest the artist's intention to convey a universal message that transcends cultural boundaries. ...

Guillaume Valenti is a classically trained painter, who uses his skills of trompe l’oeil to depict scenes which are simultaneously grounded in reality and fiction. Fascinated by methods of display, architecture and the character of different buildings, Valenti constantly accumulates images of gallery spaces, artist studios, historic buildings and museums. Selecting base images from this personal catalogue, he will replicate the bare bones of a space, painting timber, flooring, panels, and walls first. Once this blueprint of the initial image has been cast, he begins to add objects not found in the original photo, populating the canvas with ladders, TVs, podiums, and plinths. Welding his brush as a set designer would dress a stage, Valenti plays with traits of Renaissance composition and perspective, replacing grandiose details with practical objects. Disorientating traditional subjects rendered within classical painting, mundane items are bathed in light, depicted in painstaking detail. Raising questions around the pedestalling of certain objects and methods of display, Valenti’s tongue-in-cheek relationship to artifice disrupts hierarchical dynamics within art history and architecture. ...

Parliament Gallery, founded in 2020, resembles a desire to rethink the function of the art gallery by formulating new proposals of audience interaction with the artwork and visibility to a new generation of french and international artists. Parliament wishes to build through a program that is dedicated to the circulation of ideas and collective reflection. The exhibition program will be interspersed with punctual “Interludes”, archive exhibitions and retrospectives, aiming to put into perspective the transdisciplinary character of creation.
